When Sato reaches the meeting room, Kei already has President Hashiguchi prisoner, threatening to kill him and deprive Sato of his victory.

He gives the Japanese government 3 days to surrender before he launches all his missiles. Meanwhile, Sato's demands and game-playing cause dissension in his group as it will escalate their war, so most plan to desert him. The launch motivates some civilians to hunt down families of Ajin, including Kei's sister Eriko at the hospital. Kei intervenes to save her, but his IBM will not appear. Fortunately Kaito appears, accompanied by his fellow cellmate Kotobuki with his IBM to save them.

During the debriefing, the squad's CO reminds them of the secrecy of their mission, though it is already spreading that such people would be called demi-humans. Prior to their next mission to capture an African warlord alive, Fox considers killing himself to find out whether he is immortal but backs out at the last moment. That night, the squad silently infiltrates the enemy compound and captures the warlord unharmed. However, Fox declares himself to be bored, and fires two shots which alerts the enemy to "start the game". Fox eliminates the enemy, and is about to kill their captive until he is knocked out by a fellow marine. Fox's actions leads to his dishonourable discharge from the military. Sometime later, Fox (now going by Sato) discovers he is indeed immortal after killing unknown assailants.
